Letter includes MN Health Department refutation, resources on ethical vaccination development

Priests should not use homilies to “present medical or scientific speculation,” Archbishop Bernard Hebda wrote in a Sept. 22 letter to Catholics in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, responding to a homily Father Robert Altier gave at St. Raphael in Crystal Sept. 6.

The letter included a link to COVID-19 resources on the national CMA chapter’s website, as well as links to additional resources from the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia on the ethical development of vaccines.
